Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

The skill appears to provide market-news or sentiment analysis through the Finskills API, with no evidence of hidden, destructive, or unrelated behavior.

Install only if you are comfortable using Finskills for market-news queries and sharing the requested symbols, sectors, or market topics with that API provider. Treat outputs as informational, not financial advice, and confirm before using paid or sensitive data sources.

Vague Triggers

Medium
Confidence
93% confidence
Finding
The activation section uses broad natural-language triggers such as 'what's happening in the market today?' and 'asks about recent news for a company or sector,' which are common user requests and can cause the skill to activate in situations the user did not explicitly intend. In an agent ecosystem, overbroad invocation can lead to unnecessary external API calls, unintended handling of finance-related prompts, and reduced user control over when third-party services are engaged.
